Agent Statuses

Agent Statuses

In CallTools, Agent Statuses define an agent’s availability within campaigns and queues. These statuses determine whether an agent can receive calls, is actively engaged, or is in a wrap-up phase after a conversation. Status configurations also control what system actions occur when a specific status is selected.

Agent statuses help managers maintain workflow structure, monitor productivity, and ensure calls are routed correctly based on real-time agent availability. While default status names can be edited, the underlying status actions remain fixed.

Default agent status names include:

  • Available: The agent is ready to receive campaign or queue calls.
  • Not Available: The agent is not able to receive new calls.
  • Post Call: The agent is in the wrap-up stage after finishing a call.
  • On a Call: The agent is actively connected to a live call.

Default agent status actions include:

  • No Action: No system change occurs (often used for reporting).
  • Set Ready: Allows the agent to begin receiving new calls.
  • Set Not Ready: Prevents the agent from receiving new calls.
  • Logout: Removes the agent from any active campaign or queue session.

Key pointers about Agent Statuses:

  • Statuses directly control call routing and agent availability.
  • They help ensure agents are only assigned calls when ready.
  • Reporting and performance metrics rely heavily on accurate status usage.
  • Editable names allow customization while preserving consistent system behavior.

Agent Statuses are a core part of CallTools workforce management, helping teams stay organized, efficient, and aligned during live campaign operations.
